Goal was to mimic Salubrius Snail’s Radha shell:

I wanted to fulfill my inner Timmy and just play big creatures and ramp. Went with mono-green to really seal the Timmy deal. Torgal helps steer the direction by peppering in some Dog/Wolf/Human spice into the mix.

  • 2MV Mana Dork Commander
  • 20+ 4MV Ramp spells (a la Explosive Vegetation effects)
  • The rest are big dummies that have various draw, protection, removal stapled on them.

Ideally plays like this:
T1 - land
T2 - land, play Torgal
T3 - land, play 4MV Ramp spell
T4 - land, have 7ish mana to work with

Looking for suggestions on other big dummies with good effects stapled on!

if you use the gate explore you should add some mono color gates for utility

#

[[beast whisper]] should be worth for keeping up the card advantage

#

i think there maybe interest humans that can transform

#

[[cosmium confluece]] cost 5 but can search up to 3 caves'=

dusty valleyBOT
halcyon star
#

i think you want at least 4 or 5 caves in the 99

#

also do scry tag for 4mana artifact that taps for two mana, some good ones you will like

#

at some point i believe you want [[regroth]] and/or [[bala ged recovery]] more than another 7-8 drop

dusty valleyBOT
#

No card found for “regroth”

halcyon star
#

[[regrowth]]

#

instant speed if it is green/creature/permanent rather than any cards

#

regrowth can pick sorcery etc

#

appreciate it! more recursion definitely helps. i might toss in an [[apex altisaur]] as a "wipe" to

i think the first step is to

#

make sure you have enough of those turn 3 cards to make turn 4 happen

#

i dont think you need this in particular but for example, [[bean stalk giant]]

dusty valleyBOT

#

being both a 7 drop and a 3 drop make its "cost" much lower than something that can be a dead card in some case

#

flexible modal cards are some of the best quality cards you can pick from for that reason

I have about 20 4mv ramp and 40 lands so chances i get/mull for 3 lands and ramp in opening hand is p good

#

Goal is consistent turn 3 ramp into 6+ mana turn 4

ancient silo
#

Maybe heap gate and basilisk gate

#

I could do gond, heap, and baldirs

#

Baldurs

#

So might lower forests into 4-5 gates?

#

Also turn 3 should be an explosive vegetation type effect in order to get that 6+ mana by turn 4

#

but yeah beanstalk is a fantastic add

halcyon star
#

it was an example in case you have later turns where you want flexibility

#

or if something goes wrong

ancient silo
#

For sure! Many thanks 🙏

#

np, goldfishing and testing will fix a lot of the things the deck may run into

#

i am sure you can do a 1 to 1 comparison with snail's deck
